18 THERE A PAVING COMBINE?
a rHERE is a pretty noisy rumor in
I general circulation to the ef
1 - i&:t that there is a paving
I combine here in Salem that has
. . been on the job for some time.
According to this rumor, an arrange
ment baa been entered into, un
der which the pie is pretty equally di
vided, and under an old but very simple
and efficient plan. It ia claimed that
instead of bidding against each other,
that every contract is apportioned out
in advance. Every company or bidder,
ays the rumor, is told in advance how
much he mnst bid, or rather ho is
told what the successful bid is to be
and that his bid must be enough higher
to be certain of being shut out. By
this simple arrangement, each company
would of course get its contract in
turn, and the business be divided be
tween them amicably and at their own
prices. This story( of course, from the
very nature of the subject can neither
be verified nor disproved by a newspa
per. The source of information an:
ut off, all except the cpmpaniee or
contractors, and information from them
even though absolutely true, would not
lie sufficient to quiet the rumor ,for
naturally, people would doubt the state
ments. The Capital Journal snows
nothing of such a combination, but it
certainly does know of the rumors, for
that is common talk. It also knows
thBt certain persons are keeping tab
on the contracts let, in order to satisfy
themselves on this subject, for they
ho)d that a rotation or division of the
contracts would indicate tliero was real
ly such a combination. In the mean
while, paving goes merrily on and it it
probable by the time all tho street
are paved which will not be long, tho
first ones paved will be ready for "a
new paving of an entirely different
hind, much hotter than concrete, ash
pait, or any of those obsolete mater-
"Want" ai and ifl
ials" and we will have it all to do over
again. Thus will our live be made
one joyous round of gladsome paving
contracts, interspersed occasionally
with a sewer or two, as a sort of side
dish at the paving feast. However,
if there is any truth in this rumor of a
paving combine, it will crop out sooner
or later, because if companies or men
will combine to cinch the public,
a smaller portion will combine to cinch
the balance of the combine, and then
there will be trouble,

A PREMATURE REQUEST
HE Lebanon Criterion suggests
that "in time to come it will be
well to remember that the re
publican party opposed the free
trade tariff bill emphatically, and
with practically its whole strength'
This may be probably is true but utill
to do so might prove embarrassing to
the party. Suppose.for instance, that
this "free trade" Underwood tariff
bill, instead of bringing on the long
chain of calamities including even free
soup, which the Criterion seems to think
will happen, that the reverse should
prove true. Suppose times should be
good, better than they have been, that
the cost of living should be reduced,
that tho consumer should be allowed
to enjoy the products of loom an3 fac
tory without having to pay a tax to
some protected, industry. We say sup
pose these things should happen, for
time alone ea,n tell what the outcome Is
going to be, and no one is wise enough
to say just what the result will be. If
they did hnppen that way, would it
not be uncharitable and unkind to bu
digging into the post, remembering the
republicans were solid against it, and
twitting them about the factf Let us
wait until we get results, before wo
call on the public to remember just how
any of us stood on the tariff, and other
things besides.

any wonder that I am willing to speak
a word In praise of thla good medi
cine? I firmly believe It to be the
BEST MEDICINE FOR THE BLOOD
AND ALL HUMORS.
I had a bad case of erysipelas on my
hands, and on the left hand, on the
Inside, at the same time, I had a very
painful felon. I used poultices and
liniments for three months and car
ried the disabled hand In a sling all
that time. The cause was undoubt

Sarsaparilla, so I bought six bottles

improvement was noticeable very
soon, and when the fifth bottle was
gone my hands were all healed up and
my health was better In every way.
"There Is no question about It,
Hood's Sarsaparilla reached the Im
purities In the blood and effected a
complete cure. Why, at one time,
people came from all around to see
my hand, and many of them told me I
Would Have to Have It Amputated.
Imagine my nervous, distressed con
dition. Many a time when my friend
dressed my hand I would faint before
the long, tedious job was finished.

perience Is all over." Mrs. Alice
Stockwell, 113 Plantation Street.

'As a Man Thinks."
the readers of The Capital Journal
Mr. Barrie says his instructions to
the actors in Peter Pan: "The actors
in a fairy play should feel that it was
written by a child in all earnestness,
and that they are children playing it
in the same spirit." And so when lit
tle Liza, the susposed author of the
play, appears before the curtain and
tells the leader of the orchestra that
he may proceed, we arc prepared for all
the strange things that happen.
Peter Pan is a boy who did not want
to grow up. When he" was a very little
fellow he ran away from the human
world and lived with the fairies in Nev
er ..ever Never Land. But he had a
great fondness for stories, and so now
and then, he would fly to earth at Story
Time and peep into the nursery win
dows. One night, when Mrs. Darlinir
was telling stories to her childrea, he
ror the forthcoming tour of John crept into the room to listen. Mrs,
Mason in " As a Man Thinks," his snp-1 Darling saw him and was frightened,

ACT I. In tho first act we see Peter
returning to the Darling house in search
of his lost shadow. The children are
asleep and the nursery unguarded, and
with the aid of Tinker Bell, the little
fairy whom mortals see- only as a danc
ing ball of light, he finds the shadow.
Hut he can 't make it stick on. For
tunately Wendy wakea and sees the
trouble he is in, and being a motherly
little soul, sews the shadow on for him.
Peter tells her about the fairy world
ho lives in and it seems very charming
to Wendy. So she wakes the other
children. Peter teaches them all to fly,
and away they go through the window
to the Never Never Never Land.

MOLDING A CHARACTER.
You are a block of rough marble.
You may some time come to be a
splendid statue, but must be chiseled
and hammered before thai can be
reached. Grief, struggle, disappoint
ment, all the sad experiences which
fill life so full, are the tools which
the great artist will by slow degrees
convert you from a mere block to a
thing of beauty. George H. Hep-worth.
